What Is a Family?

Annette Marie Griffin is an award-winning writer who has managed and directed programs for children and youth for more than twenty years. She has written curriculum for character growth and development of elementary-age children, developed parent training seminars to benefit the community, and counseled at-risk youth. Her passion is to help children find home.

She and her husband have five children--three who have already flown the coop and two adopted tweens still roosting at home--two adorable grands who add immeasurable joy and laughter to the whole flock.

Nichola Cowdery is a professional illustrator living in London with her lovely family. Her children's books illustrations and greeting cards are inspired by laughter and cuteness--the quirkier, the better.
